Tourism in Lalibela, a small town nestled in Ethiopia's Lasta Mountains, prospers due to its fascinating cluster of rock-carved churches, dating back to the 12th century and boasting the status of a World Heritage Site. The churches remain functioning places of worship, enchanting visitors with their monolithic exteriors hewn from rosy volcanic stone. On a tour of Lalibela, you can take in its distinctly religious atmosphere, attend a religious ceremony at one of the ancient churches, or enjoy the scenic mountain views on a trek through the surrounding highlands. With our world travel planner, Ethiopia vacations can be built around trips to Lalibela and other destinations in Ethiopia.
